Abstract
In some examples, a wireless card reader detects insertion of a chip card at a chip card reader interface that includes electrical contacts positioned in the wireless card reader to contact contacts of the chip card when inserted into the wireless card reader. The wireless card reader may send, to a mobile computing device, a wireless communication request to send a PIN to the card reader. The card reader may receive, from the mobile computing device, a wireless communication including the PIN entered by a user on the mobile computing device. The card reader may send the PIN for authentication of the PIN. The card reader may receive a confirmation that the PIN has been authenticated. The card reader may send, to the mobile computing device, via the communication component, an indication of the confirmation that the PIN has been authenticated.
